This is how some acquaintences used to do it:
|
|
The material is packed and sealed with gloved hands (the plastic gloves
|
|
from bulk-food places might do). The package is sent first class, with
|
|
a false return address. There is no material inside to indicate source,
|
|
i.e. a letter, newspaper, etc.
|
|
This is so that the package cannot be traced to its sender. The false
|
|
name and return address are preferable to having no return address. The
|
|
standard procedure for the USPS's entrapment of consumers of drugs and
|
|
pornography is to hold the package for pickup. I don't know why picking
|
|
up a box makes a recipient liable when a recipient is not liable for
|
|
any other kind of unsolicited mail, but there it is. The false name is
|
|
used so that the recipient can call about a package and not pick it
|
|
up if it is not a name he recognizes.
|
|
Pragmatically, if the package is left on a doorstep, the USPS doesn't
|
|
know what's in it. If the package doesn't leave the post office, the
|
|
USPS _might_ know what's in it.
|
|
As for how to wrap the stuff so that it can go undetected, I have
|
|
know idea. Several layers of freezer-grade ziplog bags (they have
|
|
thicker plastic) might work. I was never involved in these mailings.

|
|
SAN ANTONIO (UPI) -- Boston Celtics center Robert Parish apologized to
|
|
his team and fans Saturday, one day after he received a summons charging
|
|
him with possession of five ounces of marijuana.
|
|
[...]
|
|
``We are comfortable that the marijuana was for personal use and not
|
|
for distribution, and the search was not the result of an ongoing
|
|
investigation of Mr. Parish,'' said Kurt Schwartz, a spokesman for the
|
|
Middlesex District Attorney's office.
|
|
``We received some information concerning a package delivered to
|
|
Parish's home and we were duty-bound to follow up on it.''
|
|
Police in Weston received information about a package, addressed to
|
|
Parish, after a routine check with a narcotics dog at a Federal Express
|
|
shipping facility in San Francisco.
|
|
Schwartz said it is standard procedure to have the package shipped
|
|
and then obtain a search warrant.
